Hughson St is currently building a new church facility that will include 45 apartments for those needing supportive and affordable housing. Hughson St has planted a church in the East end of the city where the principal told them that 85% of the children at the school don’t speak English on their first day. Dwayne serves on boards with various groups and organizations in Hamilton. Dwayne married Aimee in 1998 and they have four children. Dwayne speaks for camps, universities, denominational meetings and conferences across the country. He likes to run and read daily and loves to vacation with his family.
